Mohammad Reza Bateni (Persian: محمدرضا باطنی; 4 January 1934 – 11 May 2021) was an Iranian linguist and scholar.
He graduated as bachelor in English language and literature from Daneshsara-ye Aali (Institute of Higher Education) in Tehran.
Some of his works include "A New Glance at Grammar", "A Description of Persian Language Structure" and "A Prologue to Philosophy".
Perhaps Bateni's most significant contribution is his English to Persian Dictionary published by Farhang Moaser.
The third edition, entitled Farhang Moaser POOYA English-Persian Dictionary embraces about 60,000 entries in addition to numerous subentries and examples.
